International volunteering projects for groups

Edité le 2013-04-23 12:35:03

SVI offers international workcamps to groups (scouts, schools and youth groups). It is possible to go to Germany, France, Iceland, Mexico, Russia, Senegal, Vietnam, ... SVI is not a travel agency but an youth organization. All our collective projects are tailored exclusively for and with the group. Therefore, it is important to participate long enough in advance to have time to prepare the project and those who will participate (those who leave and those who host).

Go with a group

You are responsible for a troop, a youth movement, a youth center, sportive club, a school and you wish to:
• Provide an international experience of solidarity.
• Motivate and weld a group of young people around a common project.
• Create an informal support to learn languages.
• Form a youth group from your school or your youth center to experience an international solidarity project.
• Develop an educational project which involves a process of active and engaged citizenship
• Transmit the taste of travels, cultures and lifestyles
• Establish partnerships with similar organizations abroad.
• Allow young people, who don't always have the possibility to travel, to go abroad and discover foreign cultures.

Objectives

SVI offers schools and youth groups the opportunity to develop an international volunteering project "in menu" which means forming a group from 5 to 20 people, aged from 17 to 30 years old, who will be involved in a local project specially designed between them and the host organization. These projects can last from 2 weeks to several months depending on the local partner.

Establishing a volunteering project in group offers a unifying project to members and a way to allow them to carry out a solidarity project from A to Z (identification of local needs, searching grants, contacting young people from partner orgnizations, preparing journey and logistics, etc..). It lets them live the creative experiences of volunteering abroad.

If a group does not speak well English, it is sometimes (depending on the destination) possible to organize projects with local young people to learn French.

For more information, contact us. We can come and introduce international volunteering to your group.

Affordable prices to all organizations

We really want to make group projects accessible to all organizations. Registration fees are up to 150 euro/person (+ 1 free leader per group of 10 participants). Registration is valid for one year. After the group project, participants can go individually to one or several workcamps without having to pay registration fees, if they want to.
